The DOE, Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR), Environmental Management, Facility Representative Program is the regulatory arm of the federal government providing oversight of the prime contractors and their subcontractors in completing their contractual obligations for the Characterization, D&D, clean-up, and treatment of Manhattan Project Era legacy facilities, burial grounds, waste storage areas, and waste processing facilities. Many of these buildings are in a state of severe dilapidation and if not responsibly dealt with could pose a threat to workers, collocated workers, environment and ultimately the public. The Facility Representatives (FRs) role is to monitor all activities under their assigned responsibility, evaluate their performance, and report to management what they have observed. In order to adequately observe and evaluate the contractors performing the work, the FRs must be equipped with the proper past experience, education, and training knowledge, skills, and abilities to understand what they observe and evaluate those observations against contractually established laws (Federal, State, and Local), Regulations/Standards (NFPA, ANSI, ASME, CFR), DOE directives (Orders, Standards, Guides, Manuals, and Handbooks), and various Environmental Acts & Laws. The FRs were required to qualify and maintain qualifications as described in DOE-STD-1063. The remaining DOE oversight work force is comprised of Safety Systems Oversight (SSO), Senior Technical Safety Manager (STSM), Subject Matter Expert (SME), and Program/Project Managers all having a role to play in the management and oversight of the prime and subcontract work force at the ORR. Street Legal employees provided over ten years of support to the DOE FRs Safety Systems Oversight (SSO), Senior Technical Safety Managers (STSM) and Subject Matter Experts (SME), and Program/Project Managers in the development, delivery, and ongoing maintenance of their safety oversight qualifications. In addition to training and qualification support, Street Legal employees provided DOE with expert support in incident investigations, issues management, occupational safety and health, records management environmental protection, and project management.
